Recommended: Effect of climate change on agriculture essay

Hello, Efrain! Thanks for the message. Yes, I have seen the picture with butterflies absorbing minerals. I appreciate the artistry of the picture: the vivid butterflies on the background of the plain black soil with patches of reflected light. Frankly, our butterflies’ bodies are merely dark; so, I have never seen such ones whose bodies are spotted like those in your photo. Hm… Probably they have eaten too much minerals. I am joking, but, sincerely, they look pretty odd. Besides, I suppose that they much bigger than our simple “Капустницы” (from “cabbage” because they eat cabbage while there are caterpillars. And “yes” again, I have seen on TV the literal butterfly-fall like snowfall in your land and in the countries farther in the south. Still, I prefer snowfall to such abundance of any insects, even butterflies, in the air. Do you remember you have once mentioned that you don’t like the climate in Canada because you don’t like cold weather? There is almost the same weather in Canada and in middle Russia, approximately. Thus, even if I suffer a great deal from the frost in winter when I am not dressed warm enough, I dream of our fluffy white winter even now, when I forget to breathe from admiration before the beauty of the summer nearly every moment when I look around! …show more content…

They promised rain, and there is no rain. They say, “The possibility of rain” and it’s not rainy again until the most inconvenient moment when you are thinking that “God gives it won’t rain today”. You can easily understand my “Ah” and “Oh” on this subject if I tell you that I almost finished painting my kitchen window yesterday evening, and there occurred the heavy rain last night. Nevertheless, since it was awfully sunny and hot yesterday all day long, there wasn’t much harm from this rain. The paint has nearly dried off to the moment when the rain started (for about 4 a.m.). So, I hope that all my labour was not in

  • In The Time Of The Butterflies

    1. It was difficult to find out who was the narrator of In The Time Of The Butterflies was, seeing as how the book kept switching from the viewpoints of each of the Mirabal sisters. Although the Mirabal sisters spoke firsthand of what happened, it seemed as if we were being told how they felt, but not from the directly from the sister. Finally, I thought back to the very beginning of the story and realized that the narrator of the book was the reporter who went to Dede's house, which happens annually on November 25th. Through Dede, the reporter was an outsider who could tell the readers what happened, the sister's feelings and thoughts, and still talk about the story without speaking in the first person. When Dede invited the reporter in her house, the reporter walked the hallways of the house and observed the portraits on the walls. This was from an outsiders point of view, Dede wouldn't have noted certain characteristics of her own house. I believe the reporter is the narrator of In The Time Of The Butterflies.

    Rafael Trujillo’s rule over the Dominican Republic is considered one of the bloodiest era’s in history. Responsible for the deaths of over 30,000 people, Trujillo became infamous for his tyrannical reign. The four Mirabal sisters, Patria, Dedé, Minerva, and Maria Teresa, along with friends and family, were activists in the revolution to overthrow Trujillo. Affected by his harsh dictatorship, changes in Maria Teresa’s character are evident in Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies. Although Maria Teresa’s cautiousness and sensitivity remain constant during the revolution of the Trujillo Era, her consideration for others weakens.

    One day, I was on a camping trip with my family. When we got there, I thought everything was going to go well, like I thought. However, after a few hours, around dinnertime, I noticed the sky became cloudy, with barely any visibility. I thought that it would start raining soon, and my prediction was correct. It was pouring heavily, so many people began packing up. Later, thunder and lightning came in, so we were instructed to leave immediately. We packed up and left the campsite. After leaving, I also found out that it was going to rain throughout the entire week, so it was a good idea to leave.

    This poem 's expressive purpose is to show how detrimental jealousy can be. This poem shows how the duke was overtaken by his desire to control the duchess and became overtaken by insecurity, jealousy, and egotistical feelings. This poem shows how one can be driven by greed and jealousy to commit atrocities.

    On Earth, we experience events that can be considered unexplainable even though there is factual knowledge to back up why these occurrences happen. This is often referred to as phenomena – which can overwhelm the senses of human beings because we are unable to control them as they are happening. For example, the clouds are frequently given heavy burdens to carry. These burdens weigh the clouds down for as long as they can handle them. The clouds eventually are unable to carry this weight any longer, so they finally release them in the form of water. This natural phenomenon was a metaphorical way of describing rain. A clinical or scientific way of defining rain would be that the air is saturated with moisture through evaporation and because of this, clouds form. When clouds become heavy with precipitation, they release rain down onto the Earth, and then the cycle starts over. It’s a common occurrence, but could be difficult to explain without any previous knowledge or extensive scientific research – which is why we consider non-man made occurrences to be phenomena. The metaphorical explanation seems like a perfectly respectable way of describing how precipitation takes place on Earth if the scientific explanation was not presented when factual information comes in to play.

  • The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

    1116 Words  | 3 Pages

    To begin, it is necessary to understand what a butterfly is. A butterfly is a flying insect from the Lepidoptera family that includes moths and butterflies. This classification (Lepidoptera) makes up the second largest family within the insect family. Like all holometabolous insects, butterflies endure a complete cycle of metamorphosis that is broken down into four distinct stages throughout the life of a butterfly. Because the butterfly family is so large and the species are so diverse, there are some butterflies that will migrate outstanding amounts of distance and there are some that have symbiotic relationships with other animals in their habitat. For example, the Monarch butterfly, possibly the most recognizable and well known of all butterfly species with their bright orange and black outlined wings that look like stained glass windows migrate to escape the cold weather of the United States. They manage to migrate south and west in October of each year, eventually making ...

  • Dramatic Monologue

    1554 Words  | 4 Pages

    When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).

    Stepping outside, I instantly notice the fresh, wet scent of earth. As I continue walking, I willingly allow the sprinkling droplets to envelop my entire body. My shoes are soon soaked; with each step I take, I feel a puddle of water move beneath my feet. The rain hurls itself violently on the dark, slippery pavement. My hair is dripping with ice-cold raindrops which plummet to the earth with every movement I make. The numbing effect of the icy downpour is finally setting in. Fierce thunder clouds sneak into the murderous sky and flashing lightning strikes begin. The rain falls faster and heavier. My feet move quickly as I run down the road. I rush into my house and proceed to stare out the window and observe the vicious storm that is only beginning. The weather has the uncanny ability to promptly change a mood. Rain holds several emotions that could be considered polar opposites; they range from cleansing to depression, love to anger, and life to death.
